SIDNEY ZOLTAK

 Zoltak, Sidney ( Yehoshua) Holocaust survivor

Peacefully at his home on October 10, 2026.  Son of the late Henia (Kalles) and Israel Zoltak.  Beloved husband and soulmate of the late Ann Zoltak Z”l. Beloved father and best friend of Larry (Janet Goldstein) and the Late Irwin Zoltak Z"l.

Incredibly special and dedicated Zaide of Jason and Taylor, Melissa and Jake,  Matthew and Jamie.

Beloved brother of the late Simon Braitman and Josephine Braitman and the late Sam Dickstein.

A special thanks to Dr. Dori Shiff for her kindness and compassion and to his caregivers Krizzy Augustin, Alvin Avenir and Mark Zamora for the unparalleled care and compassion you have shown  Sidney for the past 4 years.  You are true angels whose love and devotion to him will never be forgotten. A very special thank you to Amy Katz for her friendship over the years and for her kindness and caring she showed him always.  

Sidney was a Holocaust survivor who dedicated the later part of his life to educating the young on the horrors he went through as a child. His presence for years on the March of the living was to provide hope to Jewish youth so as to never ever forget.  His hopes for a brighter world energized him every time he spoke to the young  and old from all walks of life.  A stanch Zionist  to the end whose love for Israel guided his life and the upbringing of his children, his grandchildren’s, and anyone lucky enough to enter his orbit.

Rest in peace daddy, Mommy and Irwin have waited a long time for this reunion. We will miss you.
